iBWAVE PRIVATE NETWORKS
(Private LTE/5G and Wi‑Fi)

Advanced 3D Modeling and Network Performance Simulation

Model your venues and environments in full 3D and then run accurate simulation of how your wireless networks will perform in real-life.

• Simplify Wi‑Fi Design with our ‘Basic’ and ‘Advanced’ Modes. The ‘Basic’ mode offers the most common features for designing Wi‑Fi networks, so you can work faster and simpler. You still have the option to switch between the modes and choose the one that suits you the best.
• Advanced 3D Modeling. Import floor plans in AutoCAD, PDF or any image file to model your buildings in a CAD-powered modeling engine. Draw walls, floors, horizontal, circular and inclined surfaces. Assign materials from an extensive database of materials - or add your own material. View the model in a powerful 3D viewer and watch it come to life.
• View prediction and design details in 3D. View prediction and the placement of your network components and cabling from floor-tofloor throughout the venue. Use the 3D viewer to visually show your customer exactly what the network will look like and how it will perform once it is implemented.
• Adjust 3D view layers. In the 3D modeler, you can adjust all planes of your design (x,y,z) to view your building as a whole or floor by floor. You can also adjust visible layers to choose what you are looking at: cabling, APs, network equipment, prediction). Zoom in, walk through and pan your design and export an image to include in reports or send to your customer.
• Share in 3D with your customers. Share the free ‘iBwave Viewer’ with your customers so they can open the design file and view it themselves in 3D.
• Cloud connectivity. Save your projects to the cloud so you and your team can access your projects from anywhere, anytime.
• Seamless connectivity with iBwave Private Networks. Work on your designs from either your tablet or PC knowing your files will always be accessible from both.
• Share projects with your customers with iBwave Viewer. Send your design to your customers for review via a secure link so they can open it up in iBwave Viewer and provide you with feedback.

Unparalleled Design Accuracy

Recognized across the industry for design accuracy, iBwave Private Networks has powerful features built in to ensure that network you install and deploy will perform exactly as predicted in the software.

• Fast Ray Tracing Prediction Engine. The fast ray tracing prediction engine goes beyond Free-space path loss and is the most accurate in the industry. It considers reflection, diffraction, walls, horizontal surfaces and inclined surfaces when it simulates how the network will perform within the 3D modeled environment.
• Prediction Calibration. Calibrate prediction with your survey measurements to increase the accuracy of the network’s predicted performance. Calibrate all coefficients or just material coefficients, and then save the model to apply to similar environments in future projects.
• Inclined Surface Modeling. The more accurate you can model, the more accurate prediction will be - especially with inclined surfaces. Ensure accuracy with the ability to model inclined surfaces the prediction engine will take into account when simulating performance.
• Attenuation by Frequency. All materials used for modeling in iBwave have attentuation loss defined for each band. Meaning attenuation is different for Wi‑Fi 2.4Ghz, to Wi‑Fi 5Ghz, to CBRS, Private LTE & 5G and bands for Europe, APAC and Latin America, etc. Small differences in attenuation values can make a big difference in performance results.

Full Reporting & Digitization of Site Documentation

Quickly generate key project reports to distribute to your internal and external stakeholders.

• Automatic Equipment List (BOM) & Cost Details
  
• Prediction vs. Measured Data (for Calibrated designs)
• Access Points, Cable Routing & Cross-reference
• Annotations, Survey Data
• Output Maps (See ‘Feature Set’ below for full list)
• Electromagnetic Field (EMF)
• Compliance
• Survey Analysis. View KPIs, interpolate survey data, validate
  compliance criteria and filter survey data
• iBwave Viewer. This free software lets your customers open design
  files (read-only), view the design and prediction in 3D and run their
  own project reports anytime they want.

Seamless Integration to Survey & Site Management Tools

• Integration to iBwave Mobile Survey. Perform your Wi‑Fi and/or LTE surveys from iBwave Mobile Survey and then seamlessly access the survey data, notes and documentation from within the iBwave Private Network software. Analyze the data, filter by criteria and incorporate the insights into your designs.
• Integration to iBwave Unity. Gain total oversight into all your wireless sites by connecting iBwave Private Networks to our cloud-based collaboration platform iBwave Unity. Manage all sites from a single location, run reports across all sites, and digitize all documentation in one place to easily access for future maintenance or upgrade initiatives.

iBwave Viewer. This free software lets your customers open design files (readonly), view the design and prediction in 3D and run their own project reports anytime they want.
